It's Latinx Heritage Month! Today we highlight SEPARATE IS NEVER EQUAL by @duncantonatiuh, an incredible picture book about the Mendez v. Westminster case to desegregate California schools. Check out more from the Zinn Ed Project: ow.ly/L4MH50BtLLz #goldengopherreaders
THE DAY YOU BEGIN by @JackieWoodson is a beautiful book for the beginning of a new school year. We all have moments where we feel different from everyone else. Even though it is scary, it is important - and brave - to be ourselves and to share that with the people around us
ALT Image shows the cover of The Day You Begin, by Jacqueline Woodson and illustrated by Rafael Lopez. A young Black child, wearing a colorful patterned shirt and headband, stands at the door of a classroom holding a purple book. The door is decorated to look like a ruler. The title of the book is written in big, colorful letters on a green background.
